Abstract (en)

[origin: US5629796A] PCT No. PCT/GB93/00054 Sec. 371 Date Jul. 12, 1994 Sec. 102(e) Date Jul. 12, 1994 PCT Filed Jan. 12, 1993 PCT Pub. No. WO93/13699 PCT Pub. Date Jul. 22, 1993A frame 2 for an image such as a picture 16 is formed from a microlens array. Such an array produces an apparent optical plane which is not coplanar with the real plane of the array. This produces the visual effect of the picture 16 being divorced from the frame 2 and an illusion of depth is created as between the frame 2 and the picture 16.
